This practical commentary set covering the entire New Testament is conversant with contemporary scholarship, draws on ancient backgrounds, and attends to the theological nature of the texts.
Crawford Howell Toy was professor of Old Testament at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary from 1869-1879. In 1879, he was forced to resign from the Seminary over his views of evolution. In 1880, he was hired by Harvard University as the Hancock Professor of Hebrew and Other Oriental Languages. Parsons narrates Toy's life in two parts.
Instead of focusing on more advanced rhetorical lessons that elite students received in their school rooms, Michael Martin and Mikeal Parsons examine the influence of the progymnasmata - the preliminary compositional exercises that bridge the gap between grammar and rhetoric proper - and their influence on the New Testament.
The depth and breadth of Parson's chapters root Luke's narrative strategy, interpretive moves, and theological imagination in the pagan, Jewish, and Christian contexts of the period.--John A. Darr, Boston College "Catholic Biblical Quarterly "
A leading biblical scholar offers grounding in the interpretation of Acts that draws heavily on ancient backgrounds and attends to the theological nature of the texts.
Provides students with a comprehensive guide through the Greek text of the Gospel of Luke. Together Culy, Parsons, and Stigall explain the text's critical, lexical, grammatical, and linguistic aspects while revealing its carefully crafted narrative style.
In this addition to a well-received series, a leading scholar on Luke and Acts examines cultural context and theological meaning in Luke.
Early Christianity developed in a world where moral significance was often judged based upon physical appearance alone. Exploring the manifestations of this ancient "science" of physiognomy, Parsons rightly shows how Greco-Roman society, and by consequence the author of Luke and Acts, was steeped in this tradition.
